600 A.P. Computer Science — Phase 5 — Dual Enrollment
this course develops the students' ability to code fluently in a well-structured fashion using the high-level languate Java. Major emphasis will be on programming methodology, algorithms and data structures. Applications of computing provide the context in which these subjects are treated. These applications will be used to develop student awareness of the need for particular algorithms and data structures, as well as to provide topics for programming assignments to which students can apply their knowledge. Five class periods and a substantial amount of individual computer lab work per week will be required. This course requires computer time before or after school. Fee required.
Prerequisite: Open to seniors who have completed a phase 4 eleventh grade math course with a grade of "B+" or better and approval of the computer science teacher.
601 Advanced Computer Science - Phase 4 — Dual Enrollment
This course is similar to course 600, without the A.P. exam and is taught at a less accelerated pace. This course requires computer time before and after school. Fee required.
602 Computer Applications — Phase 4— One Semester- Dual Enrollment
This course develops computer skils in an accelerated envronment. Students will gain insight into the use of the Internet, spreadsheets, database management, and presentation software. To bolster and enliven the technical content, assignments are integrated with non-technical skills such as creative writing, life management, business arts, accounting and statistics. Individualized lab projects are required. This class will require outside lab work. Prerequisite: Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Fee required.
603 Computer Applications — Phase 3 — One Semester
This course is an intorduction to the use of microcomputers providing intensive hands-on experience with commonly used software packages and the Internet. Students will gain experience and familiarity with word processing, spreadsheet and database management software. Individualized lab projects are required. The course will requrie some outside lab work. Fee required.
604 Desktop Publishing — Phase 3 — One Semester
This course will develop the student’s skill in changing ordinary text into professional presentations with design elements. The student will master practices used by graphic designers to create newsletters, flyers, advertisements, brochures, menus, stationery and invitations. This course equips the student with skills that have immediate applications in the work world.
605 Keyboarding — Phase 3 — One Semester
This course instructs students in the advanced mastery of the keyboard, use of operative parts, proper work attitude and habits, and the ability to follow directions. Through the word processor the student will learn how to correct words, delete them rewrite them and move them singly or in blocks from one place to another, all with a minimum of retyping. Once this is mastered, the student will then be able to format words in a way suitable for a letter, a book report, a term paper, a business report or a manuscript. Course 605 fulfills the practical arts requirement. Fee required.
606 Computer-Aided Drafting 1 — Phase 3 — Juniors-Seniors — Dual Enrollment
This is a valuable course for anyone interested in the application of computers in drafting, design, and technical illustrations. Those interested in a career as a CAD drafter or designer will find this course to be very useful. Students will learn to be proficient drafters and will simultaneously become CAD competent. Because of the technical nature of the course, only students who have been studying math at the level of phase 3 and higher can enroll. This course can fulfill performing and practical arts requirements. Fee required. Co-requisite: Math at the phase 3 or higher with a grade of "B" or better.
607 Computer-Aided Drafting 2(Architecture) — Phase 3 — Juniors-Seniors — Dual Enrollment
This course is a follow-up to course 606. Students will use computer-aided drafting as it applies in the fields of architecture and design using office simulation. Emphasis is on the production of computer-aided drafting of working drawings involving different types of architectural structures. This course fulfills performing and practical arts requirements. Fee required.
608 Introduction to Web Design - One Semester
This course introduces students to the principles for planning, designing and creating basic web sites. The couse examines the factors that affect web layout and design, such as site navigation, graphics, color and publishing. Lab time before and after school required. Fee required.
